Beautiful World, Where Are You is a novel by Sally Rooney, released on 7 September 2021.[1][2][3][4]

Synopsis

The work tells the story of Alice Kelleher, an Irish novelist; Kelleher's lover Felix Brady; Eileen Lydon, Kelleher's friend; and Simon Costigan, Lydon's friend.[3][5] In The Guardian, Anthony Cummins describes the novel's structure as a "love quadrangle" between Kelleher and Brady, on the one hand; and Lydon and Costigan, on the other.[6]

Beautiful World's themes include romance, friendship, precarity, and social class.[7] The title comes from a poem by Friedrich Schiller for which Franz Schubert wrote a score in 1819.[3][8] The novel includes substantial epistolary elements, such as emails between Kelleher and Lydon.[9]

Publication and release

Before Beautiful World's release in September 2021, advance copies circulated on the internet; one sold on eBay for over USD 200.[10] On the day it was released, Beautiful World was a bestseller on Amazon.[1] In anticipation of its release, Rooney's American publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux distributed branded merchandise, including bucket hats and tote bags, to influencers.[11]

Beautiful World was published by Faber and Faber in the United Kingdom[12] and by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the United States.[11]
